Initial life
Little
Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger was born on July 30, 1947 in Thal, Styria, to Aurelia ( nÃÆ'Ã… © e Jadrny) and Gustav Schwarzenegger. Gustav was the local police chief and served in World War II as Hauptfeldwebel after voluntarily joining the Nazi Party in 1938, although he was dismissed in 1943 after the malaria attack. He married Aurelia on October 20, 1945; he was 38 and he was 23 years old. According to Schwarzenegger, his parents are very strict: "At that time in Austria it was a very different world... if we did something bad or we disobeyed our parents, the stick was not spared." He grew up in a family Catholics who attend Mass every Sunday.
Gustav has a preference for his eldest son, Meinhard, over Schwarzenegger. His "strong and blatant" favoritism, stemming from the unfounded suspicion that Schwarzenegger was not his biological son. Schwarzenegger said his father "can not wait to listen or understand your problem." She has a good relationship with her mother and keeps in touch with her until her death. In later life, Schwarzenegger commissioned the Simon Wiesenthal Center to examine his father's wartime records, which emerged without evidence that Gustav was involved in atrocities, despite his membership in the Nazi Party and SA. Gustav's background received widespread attention during California's 2003 recall campaign. At school, Schwarzenegger was reported on average academically, but stood out for his "cheerful, good-humorous, and passionate" character. Money is a problem in their household; Schwarzenegger recalled that one of the highlights of his youth was when the family bought a refrigerator.
As a boy, Schwarzenegger played several sports, deeply influenced by his father. He took his first barbell in 1960, when a soccer coach took his team to a local gym. At the age of 14, he chose bodybuilding on football as a career. He then said, "I actually started weight training when I was 15 years old, but I have participated in sports, like football, over the years, so I feel that even though I am slim, I am well developed, at least enough so I can start go to the gym and start the Olympic exercises. "However, his official website biography claims that" at the age of 14, he started an intensive training program with Dan Farmer, studying psychology at age 15 (to learn more about the power of the mind on the body) 17, officially started his competitive career. " In a speech in 2001, he said, "My own plan was formed when I was 14. My father wanted me to be a policeman like him, my mother wanted me to go to a trade school."
Schwarzenegger took to visit a gym in Graz, where he also frequented local theaters to see bodybuilding idols such as Reg Park, Steve Reeves, and Johnny Weissmuller on the big screen. When Reeves died in 2000, Schwarzenegger gladly recalled: "As a teenager, I grew up with Steve Reeves.An outstanding achievement allows me to feel what is possible when others around me do not always understand my dreams.Steve has been part of all I've ever accomplished. "In 1961, Schwarzenegger met former Austrian Kurt Marnul, who invited him to practice at the gym in Graz. He is so dedicated as a young man that he enters the local gym on weekends, so he can practice even when it's closed. "It will make me sick of training... I know I can not see myself in front of the mirror the next morning if I do not do it." When Schwarzenegger was asked about his first film experience as a boy, he replied: "I'm still very young, but I remember my dad taking me to the Austrian theater and seeing some news movies.The first real movie I saw, which I remember clearly , is a John Wayne movie. "
Schwarzenegger's brother Meinhard died in a car accident on May 20, 1971. He drove drunk and died instantly. Schwarzenegger did not attend his funeral. Meinhard is engaged to Erika Knapp, and they have a three-year-old son named Patrick. Schwarzenegger paid for Patrick's education and helped him to move to the United States. Gustav died on December 13, 1972, due to a stroke. In Pumping Iron, Schwarzenegger claims that he did not attend his father's funeral because he is training for a bodybuilding contest. Later, he and the film producer said that this story was taken from other bodybuilders to show the extreme that some would do for their sport and to make Schwarzenegger's image cooler to create controversy for the film. Barbara Baker, her first serious girlfriend, remembers that she told her mother about death without emotion and that she never talked about her brother. Over time, he has given at least three versions of why he is absent from his father's funeral.
In an interview with Fortune in 2004, Schwarzenegger recounted how he suffered from what is now "child abuse" in the hands of his father: "My hair is pulled, I am struck with a belt, so the child next door. Many of the children I have seen are ruined by their parents, who are German-Austrian mentality They do not want to create an individual I am an unsuitable person and who can not be broken So I become a rebel Every time I'm beaten, and every time someone says, 'You can not do this,' I said, 'It will not be long since I'm moving from here I want to be rich I want to be someone.' "
Initial adult
Schwarzenegger served in the Austrian Army in 1965 to meet a year of required service when all Austrian men were 18 years old. During his military service, he won a Junior contest. Europe. He went AWOL during basic training so he could take part in the competition and spend a week in a military prison: "Participating in the competition means so much to me that I do not think about the consequences carefully."

Charles "Wag" Bennett, one of the judges in the 1966 competition, was impressed with Schwarzenegger and he offered to train it. Since Schwarzenegger had little money, Bennett invited him to live in his busy family home above one of his two workshops in Forest Gate, London. The definition of Yorton's foot has been considered superior, and Schwarzenegger, under a training program designed by Bennett, concentrates on improving the definition and strength of the muscles in his legs. Living in London's East End helped Schwarzenegger improve his basic English understanding. Living with Bennetts also transforms itself as a person: "Being with them makes me so much more sophisticated.As you are my age then, you are always seeking approval, for love, for attention and for guidance." At that time, I was not really But now, looking back, I see that the Bennett family meets all those needs, especially my need to be the best in the world, to be recognized and feel unique and special They see that I need care and attention and love it. "
Also in 1966, while at Bennett's home, Schwarzenegger got a chance to meet Regola's childhood Regola, who became his friend and mentor. Training paid off and, in 1967, Schwarzenegger won the title for the first time, becoming the youngest ever to be Mr. Universe at the age of 20 years. He will continue to win titles three more times.

There he trained at Gold's Gym in Venice, Los Angeles, California, under Joe Weider. From 1970 to 1974, one of Schwarzenegger's weight training partners was Ric Drasin, a professional wrestler who designed the original Gold's Gym logo in 1973. Schwarzenegger also befriends the professional wrestler Superstar Billy Graham. In 1970, at the age of 23, he won the title of Mr. His first Olympia in New York, and will continue to win the title a total of seven times.

LA Weekly will then say in 2002 that Schwarzenegger is the most famous immigrant in America, who "overcame a thick Austrian accent and surpassed the impossible background of bodybuilding to become the world's biggest movie star in the 1990s. an.

Schwarzenegger is considered the most important figure in bodybuilding history, and his legacy is celebrated in the annual bodybuilding competition of Arnold Classic. She remains a prominent face in bodybuilding shortly after retirement, partly due to her ownership of the fitness center and fitness magazine. He has led various contests and awards events.
Over the years, he wrote monthly columns for bodybuilding magazines Muscle & amp; Fitness and Flex . Not long after he was elected governor, he was appointed executive editor of both magazines, in a very symbolic capacity. Magazines agree to donate $ 250,000 a year to various physical fitness initiatives of the Governor. When the deal, including a contract that gave Schwarzenegger at least $ 1 million a year, was announced in 2005, many criticized it as a conflict of interest because the governor's office made a decision on the rules of dietary supplements in California. As a result, Schwarzenegger relinquished the role of the executive editor in 2005. American Media Inc., which has Muscle & amp; Fitness and Flex , announced in March 2013 that Schwarzenegger has accepted their new offer to become the magazine's executive editor.
One of the first competitions he won was Junior's contest. Europe in 1965. He won Mr. Europe in the following year, at the age of 19 years.

However, Schwarzenegger returned in 1970 and won the competition, making him the youngest ever to be Mr. Olympia at the age of 23, a record he still retains to this day.
He continued his victory in the 1971-74 competition. In 1975, Schwarzenegger was once again in best form, and won the title for the sixth time in a row, defeating Franco Columbu. After Mr. Olympia's 1975 contest, Schwarzenegger announced his retirement from professional bodybuilding.
Months before Mr Olympia's 1975 contest, filmmakers George Butler and Robert Fiore persuaded Schwarzenegger to compete, to film his training in a bodybuilding documentary called Pumping Iron. Schwarzenegger has only three months to prepare for the competition, having lost significant weight to appear in the movie Stay Hungry with Jeff Bridges. Lou Ferrigno proved to be no threat, and the lighter-than-usual Schwarzenegger convincingly won Master Olympia in 1975.
Schwarzenegger came out of retirement, however, to compete in 1980's Mr. Olympia. Schwarzenegger trained for his role in Conan, and he got a good performance for running, riding and training swords, so he decided he wanted to win Mr. Olympia's contest for the last time. He keeps this plan as a secret if a training accident will prevent his entry and cause him to lose face. Schwarzenegger has been hired to provide color comments for network television when he announced at the eleventh hour that, when he was there, "Why not compete?" Schwarzenegger finally won the event with just seven weeks of preparation. Having declared Mr. Olympia for the seventh time, Schwarzenegger later officially retired from the competition.

Schwarzenegger has admitted using anabolic steroid-enhancing performance when they are still legal, writing in 1977 that "steroids greatly help me in maintaining muscle size while on a strict diet in preparation for the contest." I do not use it for muscle growth, but not for muscle care when cutting. "He has called drugs" network building ".
In 1999, Schwarzenegger sued Dr. Willi Heepe, a German physician who openly predicts his early death on the basis of the relationship between his steroid use and his later heart problems. Since the doctor never checked him personally, Schwarzenegger collected a $ 10,000 pollution award against him in a German court. In 1999, Schwarzenegger also sued and settled with the Globe , a US tabloid who has made similar predictions about the future health of bodybuilders.

Political career
Initial politics
Schwarzenegger has been a registered Republic for many years. When he became an actor, his political views were always known in contrast to the views of many other famous Hollywood stars, who were generally regarded as liberal and democratic communities. At the 2004 Republican National Convention, Schwarzenegger made a speech and explained that he was a Republican because Democrats in the 1960s sounded too similar to Austrian socialists.
I finally got here in 1968. What a special day it was. I remember arriving here with empty pockets but full of dreams, determined, full of desire. The presidential campaign went well. I remember watching Nixon-Humphrey presidential election on TV. A friend of mine who speaks German and English translates for me. I heard Humphrey say things that sound like socialism, which I just left.
But then I heard Nixon speak. He talks about free enterprise, gets government from your back, lowers taxes and strengthens military. Listening to Nixon speaking sounds more like a breath of fresh air. I said to my friend, I said, "What party is he?" My friend said, "He's a Republican." I said, "Then I am a Republican." And I have been a Republican ever since.
In 1985, Schwarzenegger appeared in "Stop the Madness", an anti-drug music video sponsored by the Reagan administration. He first came to broad public notice as a Republican during the 1988 presidential election, which accompanied Vice President George H. W. Bush to a campaign.
Schwarzenegger's first political appointment was as chairman of the President's Council on Fitness and Physical Sports, where he served from 1990 to 1993. He was nominated by George H. W. Bush, who called him "Conan the Republican". He later served as chairman for the California Board of Governors on Physical Fitness and Sports under Governor Pete Wilson.
Between 1993 and 1994, Schwarzenegger was an ambassador for the Red Cross (a celebrity-filled role celebrated by celebrities), recorded several public television and radio service announcements to donate blood.
In an interview with Talk magazine at the end of 1999, Schwarzenegger was asked if he was thinking of running. He replied, "I think it over and over again, probably because I feel it inside." The Hollywood Reporter claimed shortly afterwards Schwarzenegger attempted to end speculation that he might run for governor of California. Following his initial comment, Schwarzenegger said, "I was in show business - I was in the middle of my career Why did I get away from it and jump onto something else?"
California Governor
Schwarzenegger announced his candidacy in the California California election election for the California Governor on August 6, 2003, episode of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Schwarzenegger has the deepest name recognition in the field of solid candidates, but he has never held public office and his political views are unknown to most Californians. His nomination soon became national and international news, with the media calling him "Governator" (referring to The Terminator, see above) and "The Running Man" (the name of one of his other films)), and calling the recall selection "Total Recall" (another movie starring Schwarzenegger). Schwarzenegger refused to participate in some debates with other recall replacement candidates, and appeared in just one debate on 24 September 2003.
On October 7, 2003, the recall election resulted in Governor Gray Davis being removed from office with 55.4% of Yes votes in favor of a recall. Schwarzenegger was elected as the governor of California under the second question in a vote with 48.6% of the vote to elect Davis's successor. Schwarzenegger defeated Democrat Cruz Bustamante, fellow Republican Tom McClintock, and others. His closest rival, Bustamante, received 31% of the vote. In total, Schwarzenegger won the election with about 1.3 million votes. Under California Constitution, no round selection is required. Schwarzenegger was the second-born California governor after Irish Governor John G. Downey in 1862.
Schwarzenegger was embedded in what he regarded as his mandate in clearing congestion. Building on his slogan from the "Hans and Franz" sketch of Saturday Night Live (which partially parodies a bodybuilding career), Schwarzenegger calls Democrat country politicians "male lovers".
Schwarzenegger's early victories included canceling unpopular increases in vehicle registration fees as well as preventing driver licenses from being granted to illegal immigrants, but then he began to feel a reaction when a strong state union began to oppose his various initiatives. The key between hisab with political reality was the special election he called in November 2005, in which four ballots he sponsored were defeated. Schwarzenegger accepts personal responsibility for defeat and vows to continue seeking consensus for the people of California. He then commented that "no one can win if the opposition lifts 160 million dollars to beat you". The US Supreme Court later found the use of general unions' mandatory fundraising during campaigns has been illegal in Knox v. Employee Service International Union, Local 1000 .
Schwarzenegger, against the advice of another Republican strategist, appointed a Democrat, Susan Kennedy, as Chief of Staff. He gradually moved to a more politically moderate position, determined to build a legacy of victory with only a short time to go until the next election of the governor.
Schwarzenegger ran for re-election against Phil Angelides of the Democratic Party, the California Treasurer, in the 2006 elections, held on November 7, 2006. Despite the nation's poor national for the Republican party, Schwarzenegger won re-election with 56.0% 38.9% for Angelides, margin of more than 1 million votes. In recent years, many commentators have seen Schwarzenegger move away from the right and into the center of the political spectrum. After hearing a speech by Schwarzenegger at the breakfast of Martin Luther King Jr. 2006, the mayor of San Francisco Gavin Newsom said that "[H] e became a Democrat [... h] e ran back, not even to the center.
Some speculated that Schwarzenegger might run for the United States Senate in 2010, because his governor would be limited at the time. Rumors like that turned out to be wrong.
Wendy Leigh, who wrote an unofficial biography of Schwarzenegger, claimed that she planned her political revival from an early age using film and bodybuilding business as a means of escaping from a miserable home. Leigh plays Schwarzenegger for being obsessed with power and quotes him saying, "I want to be part of a small percentage of people who are leaders, not large numbers of followers.I think that's because I see leaders using 100% of their potential.- "Schwarzenegger said that he never intended to enter politics, but he said," I married a political family You meet them and you hear about policies, about reaching out to help people. exposed to the idea of ​​being a public servant and Eunice and Sargent Shriver being my heroes. "Eunice Kennedy Shriver is the sister of John F. Kennedy, and mother-in-law for Schwarzenegger; Sultent Shriver is husband to Eunice and father-in-law to Schwarzenegger.
Schwarzenegger can not run for president because he is not a US-born citizen. Schwarzenegger is a double Austrian/American citizen. He has held Austrian citizenship since birth and US citizenship since naturalized in 1983. Being Austrian and European he was able to win the 2007 European voice campaign from this year's award for taking action on climate change with the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 and plans to introduce a scheme emissions trading with other US states and possibly with the EU.
Due to his personal wealth from his acting career, Schwarzenegger did not receive his governor's salary of $ 175,000 per year.
Republican Schwarzenegger's support for the 2008 US presidential election was highly sought after; Despite good friends with candidates Rudy Giuliani and Senator John McCain, Schwarzenegger remained neutral throughout 2007 and early 2008. Giuliani stepped out of the presidential election on January 30, 2008, largely due to a poor showing in Florida, and backing McCain. That night, Schwarzenegger attended an audience at the Republican debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidency Library in California. The next day, he supports McCain, joking, "It's Rudy's fault!" (referring to his friendship with both candidates and that he can not make a decision). Schwarzenegger's support is seen as a boost for Senator McCain's campaign; both talk about their concerns about the environment and the economy.
In a report in April 2010, the progressive ethical group of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington named Schwarzenegger one of the 11 "worst governors" in the United States due to ethical issues during Schwarzenegger's term as governor.
Governor Schwarzenegger played a pivotal role in opposing Proposition 66, the proposed amendment to California's Three-Precious Law, in November 2004. This amendment requires that the third crime be violent or serious to mandate a 25-year-life penalty. In the last week before the ballot, Schwarzenegger launched an intensive campaign against Proposition 66. He stated that "it will release 26,000 hoodlums and dangerous rapists".
Although he started his tenure as governor with a record high admission (as high as 65% in May 2004), he left the office with a record low of 23%, only one percent higher than Gray Davis, when he was recalled in October 2003.
Death of Louis Santos
In May 2010, Esteban NÃÆ'ºÃÆ'  ± ez pleaded guilty to unlawful killing and was sentenced to 16 years in prison for the death of Louis Santos. NÃÆ'ºÃÆ'  ± ez is the son of Fabian NÃÆ'ºÃÆ'  ± ez, then Chairman of the California Assembly of Home and close friends and a staunch political ally of current governor Schwarzenegger.
As a personal assistance to "a friend," just hours before he left office, and as one of his last official acts, Schwarzenegger eased the penalty of NÃÆ'ºÃÆ'  ± ez by more than half, up to seven years. Against the protocol, Schwarzenegger did not inform the Santos or San Diego County prosecutors about the turn. They learn about it in a call from a reporter.
The Santos family, along with San Diego district attorneys, demanded to stop the change, claiming that it violated Marsy's Law. In September 2012, Sacramento Superior Court Judge Lloyd Connelly stated, "Based on the evidence in this court which involves this case, there is abuse of authority... This is an unpleasant turn, it is disgusting for most citizens.. "However, Connelly decides that Schwarzenegger remains in his executive powers as governor. Furthermore, as a direct result of the way the change was handled, Governor Jerry Brown signed a bipartisan bill allowing the perpetrators and their families to be informed at least 10 days notice for each turn. NÃÆ'ºÃÆ'  ± ez was released from prison after serving less than six years.
Allegations of sexual error
During the initial campaign for the governor, allegations of sexual and personal violations were raised against Schwarzenegger, dubbed "Gropegate". In the last five days prior to the election, news reports appeared in the Los Angeles Times describing the alleged sexual offenses of some women, six of whom eventually emerged with their personal stories.
Three of the women claimed to have grabbed her breasts, the fourth saying she put her hands under her skirt on her ass. A fifth woman claimed Schwarzenegger tried to take her bathing suit off at the hotel elevator, and the latter said she pulled her into her lap and asked about the sex act.
Schwarzenegger admits that he has "sometimes bad behaviors" and apologizes, but also states that "a lot [what you see in those stories is not true". This came after an interview in the Oui magazine Oui from 1977 appeared, in which Schwarzenegger discussed attending a sexual orgies and using substances like marijuana. Schwarzenegger was shown smoking marijuana together after winning Mr. Olympia in the 1975 documentary Pumping Iron. In an interview with GQ magazine in October 2007, Schwarzenegger said, "[Marijuana" Not a drug. It leaves. My medicine is pumping iron, believe me. "His spokesman later said the comment was meant to be a joke.
British television personality Anna Richardson completed a defamation suit in August 2006 against Schwarzenegger, her chief aide, Sean Walsh, and her publicist Sheryl Main. A joint statement reads: "The parties are satisfied to put this issue behind them and are pleased that this legal dispute has now been resolved." Richardson claims they are trying to undermine his reputation by refusing his accusation that Schwarzenegger touched her breasts during a press event for The 6th Day in London. She claims Walsh and Main denounce her in the Los Angeles Times article when they argue that she encourages her behavior.
Citizenship
Schwarzenegger became a naturalized American citizen on September 17, 1983. Shortly before he obtained his citizenship, he asked the Austrian authorities to retain their Austrian citizenship, as Austria usually did not allow dual citizenship. His request was given, and he retained his Austrian citizenship. In 2005, Peter Pilz, a member of the Austrian Parliament of the Austrian Green Party, failed to advocate Parliament to withdraw Austrian Schwarzenegger's citizenship because of his decision not to prevent the execution of Donald Beardslee and Stanley Williams. Pilz argues that Schwarzenegger caused damage to Austria's reputation in the international community because Austria abolished the death penalty in 1968. Pilz based his argument on Article 33 of the Austrian Citizenship Act, which states: "A citizen, who in the public service of a foreign country, will deprived of citizenship if he severely damages the reputation or interests of the Republic of Austria. "Pilz claims that Schwarzenegger's actions to support the death penalty (banned in Austria under Protocol 13 of the European Convention on Human Rights) have damaged the reputation of Austria. Schwarzenegger explains his actions by pointing out that his only duty as Governor of California in connection with the death penalty is to correct a mistake by the judicial system with pardon or pardon if such mistakes have occurred.
Environmental recordings
On September 27, 2006, Schwarzenegger signed the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, creating the country's first stamp on greenhouse gas emissions. The law sets new regulations on the amount of emissions utilities, refineries, and factories that are allowed to be released into the atmosphere. Schwarzenegger also signed a second global warming bill banning large companies and companies in California to make long-term contracts with suppliers that do not meet the state greenhouse gas emissions standards. The two bills are part of a plan to reduce California's emissions by 25 percent to 1990 levels by 2020. In 2005, Schwarzenegger issued an executive order calling for reducing greenhouse gases by 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050.
Schwarzenegger signed another executive order on October 17, 2006, enabling California to work with the Northeast Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative. They plan to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by issuing a limited amount of carbon credits to each of the power plants in the participating countries. Any power plant that exceeds emissions for the amount of carbon credits should buy more credit to cover the difference. The plan came into effect in 2009. In addition to using its political power to fight global warming, the governor has taken steps at home to reduce his personal carbon footprint. Schwarzenegger has adapted one of his Hummer to run on hydrogen and the other to run on biofuels. He also installed solar panels to heat his home.
In connection with its contribution to the direction of the US motor industry, Schwarzenegger was invited to open the 2009 SAE World Congress in Detroit, on 20 April 2009.
In 2011, Schwarzenegger established the R20 Climate Area to develop a sustainable low carbon economy.
Electoral history
Presidential ambitions
The Equal Opportunity to Regulate Amendments in 2003 is widely recognized as the "Amendment to Arnold" bill, which would remove the language of the US Constitution prohibiting its escape, which was born in Austria. In 2004, the "Amend for Arnold" campaign was launched, featuring the promotion of website and TV ads.
In June 2007, Schwarzenegger appeared on the cover of TIME magazine with Michael Bloomberg, and later, both joked about the presidential ticket together.
In October 2013, New York Post reported that Schwarzenegger was exploring the future for the president. The former governor of California will face constitutional barriers; Article II, Part I, Clause V nominally prevents non-US citizens from office assumptions. He is reported to have lobbied legislators about possible constitutional changes, or posed legal challenges to those provisions. Columbia University law professor Michael Dorf observes that Schwarzenegger's case may eventually grant him the right to run in office, noting, "The law is very clear, but it is not 100 percent clear that the court will uphold the law rather than allowing it a political process. "
Business career
Schwarzenegger has had a very successful business career. After moving to the United States, Schwarzenegger became a "productive goal setter" and would write his goals early in the year on index cards, such as starting a mail order business or buying a new car - and succeeding in doing so. At the age of 30, Schwarzenegger was a millionaire, long before his career in Hollywood. His financial independence comes from his success as a novice entrepreneur with a series of lucrative business and investment ventures.
Bricklaying Business
In 1968, Schwarzenegger and fellow bodybuilder Franco Columbu started a bricklaying business. The business grew thanks to the pair's marketing sophistication and increased demand following the 1971 San Fernando earthquake. Schwarzenegger and Columbu used the profits from their brick business to start a mail-order business, selling bodybuilding equipment and related fitness equipment and instructional cassettes.
Investment
Schwarzenegger shifted profits from the mail-order business and the victory of bodybuilding competitions into his first real estate investment venture: an apartment building he bought for $ 10,000. He will then invest in a number of real estate holding companies.
Schwarzenegger is a founding celebrity investor in an international themed restaurant chain (modeled after Hard Rock Cafe) with Bruce Willis, Sylvester Stallone and Demi Moore. Schwarzenegger severed his financial ties with the business in early 2000. Schwarzenegger said the company did not have the success he expected, claiming that he wanted to focus his attention on "the new US global business venture" and his film career.
He also invested in a shopping mall in Columbus, Ohio. He has talked about some of those who have helped him for years in business: "I can not learn about business without a teacher parade guiding me... from Milton Friedman to Donald Trump... and now, Les Wexner and Warren Buffett. I even learned a thing or two from Planet Hollywood, like when to get out! And I made it! "He has significant ownership in the Dimension Fund Advisor, an investment company. Schwarzenegger is also the owner of Arnold's Sports Festival, which began in 1989 and is held annually in Columbus, Ohio. This is a festival that houses thousands of international health and fitness professionals who have also evolved into a three day exhibition. He also owns a film production company called Oak Productions, Inc. and Fitness Publications, a publishing venture with Simon & amp; Schuster.
Restaurant
In 1992, Schwarzenegger and his wife opened a restaurant in Santa Monica called Schatzi On Main . Schatzi literally means "little treasure," everyday language for "dear" or "darling" in German. In 1998, he sold his restaurant.
Wealth
Schwarzenegger's net worth has been conservatively estimated at $ 100 million - $ 200 million. After separating from his wife, Maria Shriver, in 2011, it is estimated that his net worth has been around $ 400 million, and even as high as $ 800 million, based on the tax return he filed in 2006.
Over the years as an investor, he invested his bodybuilding and film income in stocks, bonds, privately controlled companies, and real estate holdings around the world, making his net worth as an accurate estimate that is hard to quantify, especially in terms of a real decline in value -the value of an estate because of the economic recession in the US and Europe since the late 2000s. In June 1997, Schwarzenegger spent $ 38 million of his own money on a private Gulfstream jet aircraft. Schwarzenegger once said of his wealth, "Money does not make you happy, I now have $ 50 million, but I'm equally happy when I have $ 48 million."
Commercial ads
He appears in a series of commercials for the game Machine Zone Mobile Strike as a military commander and spokesperson.
Personal life
Initial relationship
In 1969, Schwarzenegger met Barbara Outland (later Barbara Outland Baker), an English teacher with whom he lived until 1974. Schwarzenegger said of Baker in his 1977 memoir, "Basically it comes to this: he is a balanced woman who want a solid, solid life, and I'm not a balanced person, and hate life. "Baker describes Schwarzenegger as" a fun, genuinely charismatic, adventurous, athletic personality "but claims that towards the end of his relationship he becomes" bearable - classically arrogant - the world revolves around it ". Baker published his memoir in 2006, titled Arnold and Me: In the Shadow of the Austrian Oak . Although Baker painted an unattractive portrait of his former lover at times, Schwarzenegger actually contributed to the all-all book with the introduction, and also met with Baker for three hours.
Baker claims that he only knows that he is unfaithful after they split up, and talks about a vibrant and passionate love life. Schwarzenegger has made it clear that their individual memories of events can be different. The couple first met six to eight months after his arrival in the US. Their first date was watching the first Apollo landing on television. They shared apartments in Santa Monica, California for three and a half years, and had little money, they would visit the beach all day or have a barbeque party in the backyard. Although Baker claims that when he first met Schwarzenegger, he had "a little understanding of a polite society" and he found him a turn-off, he said, "He is a man made himself as possible - he never gets encouragement from people his parents, his relatives, he only has a great determination to prove himself, and that is very interesting... I will go to my grave knowing Arnold loves me. "
Schwarzenegger met his next lover, assistant Beverly Hills hairdresser Sue Moray, at Venice Beach in July 1977. According to Moray, the couple led an open relationship: "We are faithful when we're both in LA... but when he's out of town we're free to do whatever we wanted. "Schwarzenegger met television reporter Maria Shriver, the nephew of President John F. Kennedy, at the Robert F. Kennedy Tennis Tournament in August 1977. He then had ties with Moray and Shriver until August 1978, when Moray (who knew about his relationship with Shriver) issued an ultimatum.
Marriage and family
On April 26, 1986, Schwarzenegger married Shriver in Hyannis, Massachusetts. The Rev. John Baptist Riordan performs ceremonies at St. Catholic Church. Francis Xavier. They have four children: Katherine Eunice Schwarzenegger (born December 13, 1989), Christina Maria Aurelia Schwarzenegger (born July 23, 1991), Patrick Arnold Shriver Schwarzenegger (born September 18, 1993), and Christopher Sargent Shriver Schwarzenegger (born September 27, 1997). All of their children were born in Los Angeles. The family lives in a house of 11,000 square feet (1,000 m) in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles, with holiday homes in Sun Valley, Idaho and Hyannis Port, Massachusetts. They attended St. Catholic Church Monica.
Separation of marriage
On May 9, 2011, Shriver and Schwarzenegger ended their relationship after 25 years of marriage, with Shriver moving from the Brentwood couple's home. On May 16, 2011, the Los Angeles Times revealed that Schwarzenegger had fathered a child more than 14 years earlier with an employee in their home, Mildred Patricia â € Å"Pattyâ € Baena. "After leaving the governor's office, I told my wife about this incident, which happened more than a decade ago," Schwarzenegger said in a statement issued to The Times. In the statement, Schwarzenegger did not mention that he had confessed to his wife only after he confronted him with information, which he had done after confirming with what housekeeper he suspected about the child.
Baena is from Guatemala. He was employed by the family for 20 years and retired in January 2011. Baena who is pregnant works at home while Shriver is pregnant with the youngest child of the couple's four children. Son of Baena with Schwarzenegger, Joseph, was born on October 2, 1997, and Shriver gave Christopher a few days earlier on September 27, 1997. Schwarzenegger said it took seven or eight years before he knew that he had fathered a child with his housekeeper. Not until the child "starts to look like [he]... that [he] unites everything". Schwarzenegger has taken on financial responsibility for the child "from the beginning and continues to provide support". Radio KNX 1070 reports that in 2010 he bought a new four-bedroom house with a pool for Baena and their son in Bakersfield, California. Baena separated from her husband, Rogelio, a few months after Joseph's birth. He filed for divorce in 2008. Rogelio said that the child's birth certificate was forged and that he planned to sue Schwarzenegger for engaging in a conspiracy to falsify public documents, serious crimes in California.
Based on the divorce assessment, Schwarzenegger maintains Brentwood's home, while Shriver buys new homes nearby so the children can travel between their parents' homes. They share custody of two youngest children. Schwarzenegger was attacked after the initial petition did not include spousal support and reimbursement of attorneys' fees. However, he claimed this was unintentional and he signed the initial document without reading it correctly. He filed for an improved letters of divorce to fix this. Schwarzenegger and Shriver completed their divorce in 2017, six years after separation.
After the scandal, Danish-Italian actress Brigitte Nielsen came forward and stated that she also had an affair with Schwarzenegger when she was in contact with Shriver, saying, "Maybe I will not go in if she says 'I'm going to marry Maria' and this is very serious, but he's not, and our business continues. "When asked in January 2014," Of all the things you're famous for... are you most proud of? " Schwarzenegger replied, "I am at least proud of the mistakes I made that caused my family pain and division us."
In July 2015, Schwarzenegger dated the physical therapist Heather Milligan, 27 years younger than him.
Accidents and injuries
Schwarzenegger was born with a bicuspid aortic valve, aortic valve with only two leaflets (normal aortic valve has three leaflets). He chose in 1997 to replace a heart valve made from his own transplant tissue; medical experts estimate he will need heart valve replacement surgery in the next two to eight years as his valve will decrease. Schwarzenegger seems to choose a mechanical valve, s
